Cosmetics have been used throughout history The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup Some of these cosmetics were used to improve one’s appearance Others were used to protect one’s skin However, in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous or even deadly!
Skin care treatments including perfumes, lotions, and cosmetic masks were used in ancient Egypt by rich and poor alike Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds Egyptians, as well as other ancient cultures, used various powders on their skin for beauty as well Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes Romans put white chalk on their faces And Indians painted red henna on their bodies
Most of the ancient cosmetics were harmless However, in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces Of course, doctors today know lead is like a poison for our bodies Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes These belladonna drops were made from a plant whose poison affects the nerves in the body By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman’s pupils would become very large People thought this made women more beautiful Actually, this is where the plant’s name comes from In Italian, belladonna means
“beautiful woman.”
When Elizabeth I was queen in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also being used by
women in England In particular, women were using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen’s hair, but over time, the dye made people’s hair fall out Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs

The preservation of embryos and juveniles is rare occurrence in the fossil record The tiny, delicate
skeletons are usually scattered by scavengers or destroyed by weathering before they can be fossilized
Ichthyosaurs had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures because, as marine animals, they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion Still, their fossilization required a suite of factors: a slow rate of decay of soft tissues, little scavenging by other animals, a lack if swift currents and waves to jumble and carry away small bones, and fairly rapid burial Given these factors, some areas have become a treasury of well-preserved ichthyosaur fossils
The deposits at Holzmaden, Germany, present an interesting case for analysis The ichthyosaur remains are found in black, bituminous marine shales deposited about 190 million years ago Over the years, thousands of specimens of marine reptiles, fish, and invertebrates have been recovered from these
rocks The quality of preservation is outstanding, but what is even more impressive is the number of
ichthyosaur fossils containing preserved embryos Ichthyosaurs with embryos have been reported from 6 different levels of the shale in a small area around Holzmaden, suggesting that a specific site was used by large numbers of ichthyosaurs repeatedly over time The embryos are quite advanced in their physical development; their paddles, for example, are already well formed One specimen is even preserved in the birth canal In addition, the shale contains the remains of many newborns that are between 20 and 30 inches long
Why are there so many pregnant females and young at Holzmaden when they are so rare elsewhere?
The quality of preservation is almost unmatched, and quarry operations factors do not account for the
interesting question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth
(Adapted from Reading TOEFL 1)
